Twenty-five migrants feared dead off Spain’s Canary Islands
Euronews says at least 25 migrants are feared to have died at sea during an attempted sea crossing near Spain’s Canary Islands.
Spanish police said that several migrants were “thrown overboard” based on survivors’ testimonies.
Forty-eight people on the boat survived and arrived on Sunday on the Spanish island of El Hierro, police added.
The migrant vessel is believed to have left Nouakchott in Mauritania before attempting to cross the Atlantic Ocean.
About 75 people — including some children — had left Mauritania on 19 March, Spanish police said on Thursday.
